What does Urban Outfitters look for in UO MRKT brands?
Urban Outfitters looks for brands that align with its category and brand strategy. It describes the marketplace as highly curated, and sellers join by invitation. Buyers work with each seller to choose which products from the assortment go live.
Categories listed for sellers are apparel (women's, men's, and kids'), home and décor, accessories, tech and media (including vinyl), beauty, outdoor, and pet. Urban Outfitters still selects the brand and the products. See UO MRKT categories.
What does the seller agreement expect?
Sellers sign the URBN Marketplace Seller Agreement, which is published openly. In general terms it expects a legitimate, registered business with the permits and licenses it needs, and compliance with product-safety and intellectual-property rules.
URBN may accept or reject a seller's registration, and URBN may update the agreement. Requirements can change. Confirm the current terms during onboarding. This page is a preparation guide, not a restatement of the agreement.
What do your listings need?
Imagery and copy follow your own brand's specifications. URBN trademarks must stay out of your listings. Urban Outfitters does not publish image counts, sizes, or background rules for UO MRKT sellers, so use the standards your brand already holds.
Marketplace prices must stay consistent with your other sales channels. You set product prices, and those prices have to match the prices on your other channels.
Urban Outfitters' buyers still work with you on which products from the assortment go live. A complete catalog is the raw material for that conversation. It is not a promise that every product will be listed.
What operations do you need?
You ship every order and handle returns under policies you set in your UO seller account. Those policies appear in Shipping + Returns. Order processing time varies by seller, shipping is domestic only, shoppers contact you from the order details page, and there is no single UO-wide return window. See UO MRKT fulfillment and returns.
